Hi, I´m struggling with homey losing connectivity, is there a way to monitor this in the app? Some sort of message that homey is offline would be great. /kristian ---

Don’t you get a message that Homey is offline when you try to access it from the app? ---

You can install the [Healthchecks app](https://homey.app/en-us/app/it.arturoiafrate.heathchecks-io/HealthChecks/) on your Homey and let [Healthchecks.io](https://healthchecks.io) (or a self-hosted instance, if you prefer that) notify you when your Homey is down. That’s not in the Homey App itself though… ---

Yes, but i don’t want to open the app 4 (or more) times a day to see if Homey is working. ---

Thanks, [healthchecks.io](http://healthchecks.io) looks like it can solve my problem. I find it a little strange that it’s not possible without installing third-party apps, should be available natively in the system. ---

You asked for a way to monitor this _in the app_, though 🤷🏼‍♂️ ---

Correct, without me being the engine 🙂 Preferably I would like it as a native feature in the app. ---

If there is an app that works on Homey itself who monitors if Homey is offline, how should that app on Homey send a message when Homey is offline? ---

If I understood it correctly it sends a signal, like a “ping” to the cloud service. If the ping is not received at a given interval it knows Homey is not online. ---

I’m using the app Network Check for that, and in case of an event it will be logged in the timeline. ![grafik](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/a/ea808c757bc7abc0d49e5ab8d73c4a2a4b083bd5.png) ---

When you install an app like Net Scan, it can check f.e. the connection to your router. You’ll see Homey is still online in most cases when the app says it’s not. To see if it’s only the app \<\> Homey problem, you could try this: Turn off the phone’s wifi, let it connect to mobile 4G and try to open the Homey app again, probably it connects right away.
